Dear All, I saw this news story and it mentions that planning applications need to be retained indefinitely based upon the Town and Country Planning Act 1947. I cannot find a reference to this requirement or a copy of this Act. Does anyone have a copy of this Act as well as any guidance on the retention period? http://www.localgovernmentlawyer.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6431%3Algo-slams-council-for-qinexcusableq-destruction-of-statutory-planning-records&catid=63%3Aplanning-articles&q=&Itemid=31 LGO slams council for "inexcusable" destruction of statutory planning records Tuesday, 26 April 2011 The Local Government Ombudsman has criticised a local authority for an "extraordinary and inexcusable" act of maladministration after it wrongly destroyed a range of statutory planning records.
